The shah. Hour of Prayer.

A eunuch In stocking feet raises the
heavy drapery that closes the entrance to
the apartment where Nusr-ed-Deen Shah
is sleeping, and, with bowed head, in a
low tone reminds his majesty that it is
the hour of prayer. A ''moonfaced"
maiden approaches, bearing q basin and
ever of gold; she pours scented water
over the royal hands, and another fair at
tendant, scantily clad like her companion,
dries his hands with q soft towel. Both
kneel at this duty, for the king is yet on
his couch, which is a mattress laid on the
costly rugs that cover the floor. Having
accomplished the nblutions, which form
one OF the essential rites Of Mussulman
prayer, the shah offers his devotions on a
superb prayer rug of silk pointed toward
Mecca. When q Mohammedan is on q
journey he carries a compass with him In
order to find the direction of Mecca. The
prayer is repeated in a low tone with many
genufections, of which the chief consist
or repeatedly falling fiat IN the face, ris-
ing to the knees and then standing, and
passing both hands reverentially over the
faces. w. G. Benjamin.

Ii a single fact more than such as
were known was wanted to confirm the
confidence now felt in tho j%etties, the late
storm in the gulf has supplied it. 1t has
often been asked how the jetties would
stand n Of the overwhelming tempests
that sweep over the gulf at intervals Of
years. Such q tempest we have recently
had, and the jetties anne out Of the con-
hict with which the hurricane forces as
sailed them stanch and victorious. The
storm went beyond any to which the jet
ties had been composed, beyond even the
noted hurricane of 1888.
Not only did the jetties at the mouth
Of the Mississippi withstand the might Of
the storm, but those at the Sabine, not
half finished, did the same. They are
built IN the same system as the Eads jet
ties, and the might that held out at the
storm was the same fragile looking will
low mattresses that are used there. Maj.
Heuer, who has supervision of the work,
has carefully examined what effect it
has had upon the unfinished work. The
New Orleans Picayune reports that Maj.
Heuer found the Sabine jetties entirely
uninjured, and no material change in the
depth Of the channel between them.
They had withstood the fury of a storm
that had swept away every human
structure upon the adjacent land

When she appeared in her box at the

pent's body illustrating the whiteness OF
her neck.

for several months wore on her neck Il
beautiful scarabeus beetle. 1t was teth-
cred to u ring by a very slender golden

THE rHlEvlsA PERSIAN seRvAN-

"
"Mudakiii' Levied on Everything Which
Is bought for the Muster.
The thievish commission the Persian
servant exacts is known as "mudakhil,"
and its size is only limited by the servants
greed and his victims purse. Such
"mudakhil" is levied on everything which
is bought for or by the master. from a
house or horse to a mosquito net. Even
the best and most trusted Persian servant
takes it, and it Is, indeed, considered in
the light Of n OF the best established
and most honored institutions of the
country. No n can escape the "mudak-
hill. not even the an powerful shah. His
servants rob and plumber him just as per-
sistently as do those Of the European
residents or travellers their employers.
But there is n fine distinction made. A
''mudakhil" of 10 per cent. on the pur-
chase price is very straightforward, hon
orable and fair; one of 30 per cent. is
permissible; but one of 40 or 90 per
cent. is theft and brands the servant as
dishonest. Suoh a one loses caste and
could only be excused by his country
men if his victim be a newly arrived
''ferenghi," a European or American of
%greenhorn propensities.
But even In that case it would be held
to be stretching the bow a little too far.
As long as he keeps within tho bounds
just mentioned the Persian servant may
cheat and swindle his master every min
ute il he can, and he may proudly raise
his head and call himself an honest man
in Persia. The natives understand this
fine principle so well that even If the
master should, in exceptional cases, take
tho trouble to purchase the goods in
question himself, the dealer will always
in the purchase price include tho .'mu-
dakhil' for the servant, to be paid the
latter OF tho nail as soon after the sa1e.
as he chooses TO call for it.
The Persian servant is not a ve-v #,
Perior agtiela-M S lazy, dishonest,
soy, unreliable, untruthful and decidedly
slovenly in his personal habits. Besides,
he is possessed of one characteristic
which will alone suffice to make him dis
tasteful to the average westerner-he is
so horribly familiar. He identifies him
self so wholly with your person and in
terests that he will interrupt your con-
versation, do things in your name you
never wanted him to. promise or deny
vicariously and with the utmost show of
authority.-Wolf Won Sutherland in

Gen. Sheridan has proposed a striking
and ingenious plan Of harbor defensc.
based upon his experience in fighting In
dams years ago. He found sunken pits
held by riflemen better than forts, which
formed a clearly visible mark for the
enemy. He therefore proposes a series Of
submerged pits in the sea, with guns that
can lie raised or lowered at pleasure,
never rising above the surface of the
water 70 far as to afford n good mark for
IN advancing fleet. Such works would
be better defended against hostile fire by
the surrounding water itself than any
visible fort can be by steel or other casing.
The idea is worth consideration, as it ap-
pears to offer n maximum Of defensive
force with Il minimum Ut cost.-New
York Tribune.
